And they tried to get the road game moved to NY? Swine. Although it might have been worth it to see the reaction of the Red Sox fans. :wink:

The Red Sox are also terrible.

The Red Sox were furious that MLB ordered them to play the second game on Saturday but simply played the game. The field conditions were awful.

Game 2 fans will be refunded which the team didn't have to do.

When a team visits a city for the final time in a season, MLB and NOT the team has control of go or no go. What happened Saturday was a farce but..

Because of Irene the MLB and the Red Sox moved the game on Sunday to Saturday and then made the game times Noon and 5 PM... They thought the Noon game would have no weather problem but they were very wrong.

After the 6th inning there was a one hour delay, they played the 7th and the delay was 2:30 minutes. The score was 9-2 Boston. Joe Torre called the umpires and told them they could not play Game 2 unless Game 1 went the full nine innings.

Then the Red Sox tell Game 2 ticket holders they could enter the park even though Game 1 was still in a rain delay.

Game 2 would then have a long delay in the Top of the 5th and the Red Sox then announced anybody could enter the park for free. It was a joke.

The Yankees are hard to take, due in no small part to tantrums like this. I hope that the Orioles beat them like a drum on September 8.

Game 1

Why is that a farce? Its late in the season, you gotta do whatever you can to get the games in. Plus, it was a nice gesture to allow fans in free.
